OATS, PEAS, BEANS & BARLEY GROW

Although this issue is about the four grains in the sing-song rhyme, it is not about all grains, nor is it all about grains. Instead, it is an extension on the ideas of Potager Gardens, from the previous issue, and focuses on the cooking pot rather than the garden. We also look at food related art created for nursery rhymes and fairy tales, created by some of the well-known artists, from the hey-day of children’s illustration, (mid-1800’s to the early-1900’s.)
